If the current in a stream moves at a rate of 7 mph. If a boat travels 98 miles downstream in the same time that it takes to travel 49 miles upstream then the speed of the boat in still water is 21 miles per hour.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the distance covered by an object in a certain time period. It is also known as velocity. The formula of speed is as follows:

Speed=Distance/ Time.

<h3>How to calculate speed?</h3>

We have been given that the speed of stream is 7miles per hour.

Let v be the speed of the boat, and t the time to travel

98=t*(7+v) (1)

49=t(v-7) (2)

(1)+(2) => 2tv=147

7t+(49+7t)=98

14t+49=98

14t=49

t=49/14

t=7/2

Put the value of t in equation 1 to get the value of v:

98=t(7+v)

98=7/2(7+v)

196/7=7+v

28=7+v

v=28-7

v=21

Hence if the current in a stream moves at a rate of 7 mph. If a boat travels 98 miles downstream in the same time that it takes to travel 49 miles upstream then the speed of the boat in still water is 21 miles per hour.

4.4 + [4 • 1/4 + 8.6]
Delicious77 [7]

Answer: 4.4 + (4 x 1/4 + 8.6) = 14

Step-by-step explanation: Because starting inside the parenthesis, 4 times 1/4 = 1. Then 8.6 plus 1 = 9.6. Finally, 9.6 plus 4.4 which equals 14. :)

Mary scored 28 points, which is twice as many points as Lashawna scored. Let L represent the points Lashawna scored.
Basile [38]

Answer: Lashawna scored 14 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Let M = Mary's score

L = Lashawna score

M = 28 points

And M is twice as much as L score

M= 2L

L= M/2

L= 28/2

M = 14.

Lashawna score was 14 points

HELP
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

5. 50.3 m²

6. 113.1 cm²

7. 102.1 yards²

8.  50.3 yards²

9.  452.2 ft²

10.379.8 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of  a circle = nr²

The circumference of a circle = 2nr

n = pi = 22/7

r = radius

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

radius = diameter / 2

5. (22/7) x 4² = 50.3 m²

6.  (22/7) x 6² =113.1 cm²

7. radius = 11.4/2 = 5.7 yards

(22/7) x 5.7² =102.1 yards²

8. radius = 8/2 = 4 yards

(22/7) x 4² = 50.3 yards²

9. 2nr = 75.4 yards

2 x (22/7) x r = 75.4

to find r, divide both sides of the equation by 2 and 7/22

r = 12 ft

Area =  (22/7) x 12² = 452.2 ft²

10. 2nr = 69.1 yards

2 x (22/7) x r = 69.1

to find r, divide both sides of the equation by 2 and 7/22

r = 10.99 ft²

Area = (22/7) x 10.99² = 379.8 ft²

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
